Oxford Cheetahs v Plymouth Gladiators

Report

OXFORD consolidated their position in the Cab Direct Championship’s top four with a 51-39 home win over Plymouth.

Skipper Scott Nicholls scored a 13+2 paid maximum for the Cheetahs, who are in third place and have now opened up a six-point gap on the sides outside the play-off places.

Sam Masters added 13+1 for the home side as he twice combined with Nicholls for 5-1s in the closing stages, and the Oxford No.1 dropped his only point to an inspired Dan Thompson.

The Plymouth youngster racked up a superb 15 from six rides, with the best support coming from his twin brother Joe who was unbeaten in three of his four outings as he scored 8+1.
